MesoCycle V Week 4

Weekly Review

Total Miles: 62.25Number of Workouts: 7Stretching: all runs, need to get better at the routineYoga: OneP\U, S\U: 100\200

Notes: Absolutely enjoying the 8:00\mile pace, very relaxing. This is the second to last for the recovery per Pfitzingers Advanced Marathoning. I ran 62 to his 42 schedule.I registered with the USATF and to run the Cape Cod Marathon. Currently at 21 weeks out and will use the next couple as conditioning.Issues to Note:1. Rock hauling blew out my lower back in the latter part of the week. This destroyed the situps and push-ups for the week.2. The very slight inner right shin dull sensation feels like it is finally subsiding. What caused it? I also noticed I had a couple of bruises on both legs, possibly from rock hauling.Next Week Goal:Maintain mileage around 60, looking to run on time based and see where the mileage lands, run the Max HR test, increase yoga to two, stretching and strengthening consistency.

Ran a new loop today called the Wayside Inn Loop, this is the oldest operating inn in the USA. It’s an undulating course with a large hill at 10 and a series of hills at 13. I used the USATF route site to get the mileage. With all the tree coverage the Garmin gave me 13.88.
